NO GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN!

I own a child care center and see how this program works and makes society a better place by giving young children with lower income an EQUAL opportunity regardless of income. Our school is mixed income but shows no class divide. The benefits of these children being integrated and given an EQUAL opportunity and a fair start during their most important years are priceless. The elimination of these programs will give even higher income families very limited if any choices for quality day care to bring thier children because day cares will be going out of business if they lose many of thier children and teachers will be out of jobs. There are so many essential services in jeopardy that are necessary to provide a productive future for the families in the State of Illinois.
